Epic Games General Thread - Its time to talk about what the AAA gaming industry does not understand about the PC console.

Hahahah holy shit, what a fucking cluster fuck. I'm sure Valve is really salty that they didn't get such a shittly programmed game. Hope Sweeny loves all the press he's getting for his super awesome exclusive that runs like shit, got fucked in reviews by Polygon of all places and can't even be streamed properly.

This is hysterical. Sweeny goes out of his way to buy a AAA exclusive and it turns out to be dogshit, which is then doubled because his store is dogshit as well and is a glorified webpage that can't handle it. I hope it was worth that 6 or 7 figure payday for 6 months when it goes on Steam for 30% off because no one is going to buy it.

The key word in conman is con - confidence.

Con man or Confidence Man comes from a guy in the 19th century who went up to people and said "Do you have the confidence to give me your pocket watch?"

Obviously some idiots would give him their watch and he'd just fucking take off with it, hysterically. That's where the term comes from. Also why people who trust them are suckers.

BL3 is out on Epic now, let the shitstorm begin. While BL3 is a poorly optimized piece of ass on its own right, Epic’s bugginess isn’t helping the day one release.

Who could have ever predicted this would be a complete disaster? I mean, other than anyone without their tongue completely up the anus of Tim Sweeney.

Someone take the bullet for the team and get a packet sniffer on that shit.
Giving them the benefit of the doubt, they probably fucked up and put up some QA build which calls home like a teenage waifu.

Oh hey, great job, you almost beat a 2009 game that's running a low-to-mid tier competitive event between 2 teams no one's ever heard of.

99% guaranteed what he means by paid to proofread is that he proofread some of his friends' shit and they felt sorry for him so they threw some cash his way.

Indies are retarded so I think he's telling the truth. They probably also pay Quinn and Phil Fish.

So we have a company using DRM that potentially has a Keylogger in it, Owned by a company that is connected to the Chinese Government.

On one hand that sounds like a pretty far out conspiracy, On the other we live in FUCKING CLOWN WORLD so I can't tell what is paranoia and what is sensible questioning of the facts.

Steam was a pile of shit. Back when the newest patch to CS was 1.4. The year of our lord 2002. When it lagged the servers to hell, randomly kicked players off servers mid match and was a nuisance.

It still was better than EGS has ever been at that point.

Edit: It was CS patch 1.5. That's a misremembertism.

My bad. I didn't have a PC during that time (the dark period for me) and didn't get a decent rig until 2008.

Steam was better when people were still seething about being forced to install it to get HL2. And it was fucking horrible at that time.
